      Hey there, I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through this. I’ve been in a similar situation before, and it can be incredibly draining, especially when it feels like the jokes are constant. One thing that helped me was setting boundaries. It doesn’t have to be a big confrontation, but sometimes just calmly letting them know that their comments are hurtful can make them realize what they’re doing. I know it’s easier said than done, but you deserve to be treated with respect. You’re not alone in this, and there are people who will stand by you.

        Your post really hit home for me. I spent so many years feeling lost, trying to be someone else just to avoid the pain of being bullied. It’s exhausting, and it really messes with your sense of self. But the fact that you’re recognizing this and wanting to make a change is a powerful first step.

        One thing that helped me was finding ways to reconnect with who I was before the bullying started. I looked back at things I used to love as a kid—drawing, writing stories, even certain music—and I started to bring those things back into my life. It was like reconnecting with an old friend, one I hadn’t seen in years.

        I also started practicing positive affirmations. It felt weird at first, but over time, telling myself that I am worthy, that I am strong, started to shift my mindset. You might feel silly saying these things to yourself, but they can have a big impact on how you view yourself.

        And finally, know that it’s okay to ask for help. Whether it’s talking to a therapist, joining a support group, or even just confiding in a close friend, you don’t have to go through this alone. Healing takes time, but every step you take is a step towards reclaiming your identity and building the self-esteem that the bullies tried to take from you.
